MUNICIPAL THEATRE
"MAN ON THE FLYING TBAPEZE" AND "THE GLASS KEY." W. C. Fields, laugh prouioter of the age, reaches the top of his f'orm as a comedian and pantomimist iu his latcst Paramount laugh riot, "Man on the Flying Trapoze, ' ' now screening at the Municipal Theatre. Fields is east as a aubmissive, blundering husband constantly hen-pocked by his wife and mother-in-law, in fact by everyone except his daughter who is tho apple ol! his eye. His attempt to get to a wrestling match is only one of the many rnirth provoking dilemmas in which Fields finds himself. Each proceding and suceeeding^experienee is indelibly stamped with tho Fields pantomime and huniour. , The drama of a political battle, the 'oxcitement of a murder mystery and the teuderness of romance are the o laments from which are woven the engrossing story of "The Glass Key," the second feature at the Municipal Theatre. Georgo Eaft returns to tho type of characterisation which won him fame at the outset of his eareer in this picture. Teamed with EdwaTd Arnold, he is the hard-fisted, tight-mouthod and loyal companion of .the older man.
